One of the biggest challenges business owners face these days is keeping their focus. There’s so much coming at us all at once that is simply part of the backdrop we work in as entrepreneurs – running a great business, managing staff, working with clients, marketing our products and services, being with your loved ones, taking care of your physical and emotional needs, raising children, caring for aging parents, and trying to squeeze some leisure time in there too. Plus there’s the eternal battle with information overload and sorting the invaluable from the irrelevant from the tidal wave of emails, tweets, DMs, texts, the media and more we are bombarded with on a daily basis.
If you’re not careful, your energy and focus will easily be pulled into a zillion directions.
See which of these common energy leaks have got your focus tapped out!
- Unfiled papers
- Unopened mail
- Bookshelves overflowing with books, papers and more
- Cluttered desktop
- Jam-packed email inbox
- Outstanding phone calls
- Relationships that drain you or have a lot of drama
- Unfinished home maintenance projects
- Tolerating interruptions in your workflow
Your productivity will plummet until you hunt down and handle your energy leaks. So it’s important to identify and take care of the ways that we allow our energy to be diverted away from sharing our brilliance and our gifts. Learning to plug energetic leaks and directing your focus towards your highest purpose is an important part of mastering your brilliance
